Teenage Years
Chapter 1
‘’Gate to Flight
224 is now in closure.’’
The announcements she heard loudly quicken her pace as her
legs forced themselves to run faster. She could feel the
sweat slide down the side of her face as all her bags swung
on her shoulders, hitting her stomach every time she dropped
on one leg. Her converse were already ripped, making it
harder to speed down next to the wall. She couldn’t
miss this plane. Aunt Jessie behind her with her long high
heels and her small purse, almost tripping at her every
step.
It was her fault after all for arriving in the airport
late. First, she woke up late because she had forgotten to
put the alarm earlier yesterday night. Second, she was still
a business woman and had to look good everywhere she went
which is why her hair was bouncing off her shoulders with her
dark-red lips curled up, showing that she wasn’t
satisfied with the running. She wasn’t helping with any
of Fayonna’s large bags and to her knowledge, it
didn’t bother either of them.
They saw the gate and sprinted towards it, yelling at the
lady to hold the door from closing. Just on time, a flight
attendant wanting to come back in the airport jabbed her legs
between the doors, leaving it stuck and back up from each
other. Fay breathed a sigh of relief and slowly reduced her
running to a light jog just to keep the lady happy. When they
reached the door, they gave her passport and after the scan,
Aunt Jessie’s were filled with tears.
‘’Please don’t cr—‘’ She
was interrupted by being suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.
She let Aunt Jessie cry against her shoulder and she patted
her back, letting small chuckles fall out of her mouth.
Besides Aunt Jessie, there was nothing left for her here in
New York City. She had to leave and live away from her passed
memories. Fay smiled awkwardly at the flight attendant
waiting for her to cross the doors so it wouldn’t hit
her foot again and again, ‘’You’re a strong
girl.’’ Aunt Jessie whispered through the quiet
sobs after letting Fay go, ‘’I hope to see you
soon.’’
‘’I’ll miss you. I love you.’’
Fay smiled honestly, walking away and waving a last goodbye
through the transparent glassed
doors.
